Burned In My Mind

Saw the image, now it’s etched in my skull,

Didn’t blink, didn’t flinch, but I felt every pull.

World turned cold in a fraction of a frame,

Some things you can’t unsee, they just burn in your brain.

It ain’t a movie, no script, no pause,

Just a flash of the darkness behind fake laws.

Scrollin’ for peace, got hit with a curse,

Not blood on my hands, but it felt even worse.

⸻

It’s burned in my mind, can’t scrub it away,

Close my eyes, still see it play.

Not shook, just scarred, truth in disguise,

This world don’t blink while innocence dies.

⸻

I ain’t soft, but I feel that weight,

Seen evil up close, yeah, face-to-face.

No trigger warning, just trauma on loop,

Now I’m fightin’ off thoughts I ain’t tryna regroup.

No panic, just silence that screams,

A new kind of nightmare that slips in my dreams.

They say don’t look, but curiosity’s a knife,

Cut deep with a glance, now it’s haunting my life.

⸻

It’s burned in my mind, can’t scrub it away,

Close my eyes, still see it play.

Not shook, just scarred, truth in disguise,

This world don’t blink while innocence dies.

⸻

But I’m still standin’, not lost in the smoke,

What broke me once, I turned into growth.

I ain’t what I saw—I’m what I survived,

So I choose what stays and what gets denied.
